Frequently Asked Questions — EB-2 NIW Green Card for Physicians
How is the physician NIW different from a regular NIW?
Physicians can qualify through underserved-area service with a required service period, in addition to the standard test.
Do I have to work in an underserved area for a physician NIW?
Not always; clinician-researchers can qualify under the standard Dhanasar framework instead.
How does a J-1 waiver interact with an NIW?
They are separate; a J-1 waiver addresses the home-residency requirement, while the NIW is a green card path.
Is EB-2 NIW or EB-1A better for physicians?
The NIW fits service and national-interest cases; EB-1A suits doctors with broad acclaim.
Can I file the NIW myself without an employer?
Yes; the NIW is self-petitioned.
How long is the required service period for physician NIWs?
The underserved-area path requires a defined period of full-time clinical service, documented in the petition.
Can I adjust status before completing the service?
Adjustment timing depends on the service requirement and visa availability, which we plan with you.
